Episode 13.3: Fine Art, Families & Flamingos

Monday 6th February 2017 at The Wardrobe Theatre.

As a storm brews over Newtown the depressed Harold wanders lonely as a cloud, while secret artist Constance weeps over her long-absent lover Spencer, vowing to remain silent until his return. Meanwhile, still pining for his ex-wife, Rita, the newly-vested Simpkins has opened a modern art gallery where Pablo is struck by Constance’s powerful depictions of town life.

Across town, Billy is having financial problems: not only has his business venture with a repentant Fred failed but he’s struggling to get rent off his two new lodgers, Candi and Scarlett. Scarlett is torn between living with her new best friend and staying at home with her mother but in the end Gina wins out and gets both Candi and Scarlett to move in. Buoyed by her lover Big Dick, a seemingly perfect nuclear family is formed… but will Candi be able to hide her dismay at living with Dick, her secret uncle?

IMPRO SHOW FOR HIRE

Would you like to supply guaranteed good times entertainment for your birthday party, your office party, your Christmas party or your anniversary bash? Would you like games and scenes that remind you of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Or a one-off soap style comedy that uses your party or any genre of drama you like for its inspiration?

Alternatively, for those familiar with our regular soap, we offer spin-off shows involving a couple of the Newtown characters in a completely different location, with the rest of the cast playing different characters. To discuss these or any other ideas, do not hesitate to get in touch: lindsey@closereachday.co.uk
